The actress who played Daisy Mae shared a dressing room with Julie. She’s been quoted as saying: “Julie’s so hot. I’m not a lesbian, but I’d take her!”

Hmm, Janet Leigh was in Psycho, Vivien Leigh was in GWTW. If you didn’t get 'em mixed up, take a DQ.

Way to go, **Prof.**! If you hadn’t guessed Julia Child, I think I would have in the next round.

My unanswered IQs:

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#):

> Is your car on display in a museum in Cleveland, Ohio?  
> Are you an actress and model married to a noted musician?  
> Did you refuse to change your clothes immediately after a tragedy, despite being encouraged to?

Janis Joplin (already asked by someone else)  
I was thinking Jill Goodacre, married to Harry Connick Jr., but Jerry Hall works too.  
Jackie Kennedy, who kept on her bloodstained suit on Nov. 22, 1963 until she was back in the White House.

V it is.

IQs:

Did you drive a man mad by destroying his doll collection?  
Were you the least childish actor ever?  
Are you one of only two non-Presidents after whom a current U.S. Navy aircraft carrier is named?

\<blink\> Belushi asked people not to eat the flowers? I was thinking of Jean Kerr (_Please Don’t Eat the Daisies_).  
Janet van Dyne (married to Hank Pym, who was both Ant-Man and Giant-Man/Goliath) and Jack Klugman (_The Odd Couple_) were the other two.

Vanessa Williams is correct

No, he was my answer to the slob question. I was thinking Bluto from Animal House, probably his most famous role.

IQ1) Are you the Ankh Warrior that replaced the Space Ace?  
IQ2) Are you a martyr associated with cheap chalky candy?  
IQ3) Did you know what a Quarter Pounder is called in France?

Yes, V for Vendetta.  
Victor Mature.  
Carl Vinson (the other is John C. Stennis).

DQs:

Male?  
Real?

IQs:

Did you provide a voice in two animated movies, but were replaced by a soundalike in a third?  
Did you offer your Emmy to Jack Lemmon?  
Was your father a Baltimore newspaper reader?

#1’s from Kiss, but I don’t recall the name. #2 is probably one of the many St. John’s but I don’t know which. #3 is Pulp Fiction’s Vincent Vega.

Take 2 DQs

The first one might be Vincent Price. If so, take 2 DQs. If not, take 3.
